CELEBRITY Big Brother fans have claimed Roxanne Pallett was holding the wrong side of her body after she accused Ryan Thomas of "punching her" in the ribs.

Viewers called for the ex-Emmerdale star to be "kicked out of the house", claiming she was "making a mockery of abuse victims"and flooded broadcasting watchdog Ofcom with complaints about Roxanne's reaction to the pair's "play fight".

But eagle-eyed viewers noticed that she appeared to be holding the right side of her body, despite previously touching the left side during the incident.

Noticing the discrepancy, one person tweeted: "Did anyone notice when she went in bedroom she held the wrong side when she said it hurt. #CBBUK #CBB."

Another added: "Roxanne held the wrong side of her body when she walked into the bedroom?? Lol #CBB."

So just watched more footage, @ryanjamesthomas was nowhere near Roxane's ribs. And she was holding the wrong side in pain. Cannot wait for her to try and worm her way out of this one #cbb#roxannepallet Nasty girl!

Celebrity Big Brother's Ryan Thomas play fights with Roxanne Pallett but did he punch her?

Roxanne Pallett is a dangerous liar and should be punished for what she's done and at the very least, removed from the house. This is outrageous and I'm disgusted with the producers for condoning this appalling behaviour #CBBUK Ryan #cbb

Many fans expressed their fury on Twitter with one writing: "Roxanne Pallett is a dangerous liar and should be punished for what she's done and at the very least, removed from the house. This is outrageous and I'm disgusted with the producers for condoning this appalling behaviour #CBBUK Ryan #cbb"

Another wrote: "I think they should kick her out and take her reported 750k fee and donate it to a domestic violence charity- you know one that deals with women who are actually victims of this!"

A third agreed, tweeting: "Can NOT believe you are taking @RoxannePallett seriously in there do you not realise the consequences her action could have on @ryanjamesthomas, this should NOT be allowed to happen GET @RoxannePallett OUT ASAP!"

Celebrity Big Brother's Ryan Thomas given an official warning over his play fight with Roxanne Pallett

Ryan's representatives shared a Tweet that read: "It’s hard to see him being painted in such a light but truly thankful the footage is there for everyone to see. New low from Roxanne and a seriously dangerous games she’s playing."

Roxanne wept in the diary room last night after Ryan caught her too hard in what appeared to be a play fight

Roxanne Pallett says she 'doesn't feel comfortable' sleeping in the same room as Ryan on Celebrity Big Brother

His younger brother Scott took to Twitter and wrote: "I have now seen it all! Women like that are so dangerous! Trying to damage my brothers reputation over what was blatantly some harmless play fighting.

"Be a drama queen all you want but don't try and ruin someone in the process! Nasty that!"

He added in a further tweet: "I actually don't think it's fair that she even stays in the house after this...i'm in complete and utter shock. She's clearly unwell I'm sorry."

He wasn't alone in his thoughts, as Ryan's girlfriend Lucy retweeted dozens of comments supporting Ryan.

She then tweeted: "Please RT or like if u want Roxanne removed. I don't think she is mentally fit to be in the house. #cbb #getroxyout."

I have been lucky enough to call @ryanjamesthomas my friend for many years now and I am horrified at what happened on last nights #cbb how can someone get away with clearly manipulating a situation and attempting to tarnish someone’s name!! Get her out!! 😡

I’ve just caught up on @CelebBigBrother I honestly can’t believe what I have watched. @ryanjamesthomas Is like a brother to me and to see someone try and manipulate a situation towards him is so cruel , unnecessary and dangerous on so many levels!! TEAM RYAN ALWAYS 💛✨🙏🏽

I was shocked to see what i saw on cbb last night. @ryanjamesthomas is a lovely guy. It makes me sick people make up things like that. Its the reason people who really do go through it stay quiet 😢 She has no idea. What an awful person x

Big Brother tried to reassure the star they are taking the matter seriously.

Ryan was then called into the diary room and given a formal warning about "unacceptable behaviour".

Big Brother said: "We are issuing you with a formal warning, if repeated, we will have no choice but to remove you from the house."

I've just logged a complaint with ofcom (took less than 5 mins)...by #cbb issuing a warning to Ryan, it demonstrates #cbb accepts that Ryan had intent to hurt or upset her, this was clearly not the case; #cbb and @RoxannePallett should apologies immediately.

#cbb@bbuk fyi here is my complaint to @Ofcom. The Roxanne incident is disgusting and shameful. Your handerling of the situation is harmful to the viewing public. And why didn't Roxanne get a warning for punching Ben? pic.twitter.com/9xX59W43l9

I think it’s absolutely disgusting that Ryan was reprimanded for that, what a manipulative piece of work she is. BB should be reprimanding her for first allegations, how can she get away with that? My complaint has gone in to ofcom. You should be ashamed @bbuk#cbb

HE'S O-KAY

BABY ON BOARD

Many more fans complained to Ofcom with one tweeting: "I've just logged a complaint with ofcom (took less than 5 mins)...by #cbb issuing a warning to Ryan, it demonstrates #cbb accepts that Ryan had intent to hurt or upset her, this was clearly not the case; #cbb and @RoxannePallett should apologies immediately."

One more commented: "@Ofcom To whom it may concern. I like to make a formal complaint against happenings on #CBB..."
